My best friend, Turkey, and I ventured out to the movies last night to see Bride Wars. It was a great movie and provided lots of laughs between friends. You see, Turkey and I, have been friends since babies. We have everything planned for our weddings... except the guy. But that will come later. We even played wedding when we were kids, my mom was always good at providing dress up clothes for me and my friends.

After the movie we decided to check out the new diner next to the movie theater. And I know this is weird but Turkey and I love diners. Everything about them. The atmosphere the food, the old time feeling. Everytime we go on a trip we try to find at least one diner to stop in on. Well boy did we find one last night.

We walked in and were immediately transported back to the 50's. It was fantastic. We sat down and ordered shakes and fries. We looked around and at every table there was a juke box. Put 5 cents in and pick an old song and it played through out the whole place. Well right there was I was sold but it got even better from there.

I know hard to imagine.

The waitress brought us our fries with a smile. Literally. She set down our fries and pulled out 2 bowls. In it she made ketchup smiley faces. You can't help but smile when you get a ketchup smiley face to eat.

Our shakes came out next. What better way to eat fries then to dip them in a peanut butter chocolate shake. We continue on eating and laughing and talking about our weddings.

A song came on and I am not kidding you, the waitresses and waiters all lined up and started dancing. I wish that I would have thought to video tape it. They asked everyone to join in with them. All the kids jumped up and started dancing. This picture just doesn't do it justice.

The icing on the cake for us was this: they had our favorite ice. I know ice is ice, frozen water. But this ice is different. It's crunchier. Just better. We downed our water just to get to the ice. We sheepishly asked the waitress for to-go cups and she came back with it filled to the top with ice. Fantastic.

It usually takes a lot for me to really like something. When it comes to food I can be particularly hard to please because I'm pretty picky. But Johnny Rockets has won me over.
